Nakba Day – 15 May on-line global rally in solidarity with Palestinian right of return
Ante Scriptum:
“Il 15 maggio ricorre l’anniversario dell’autoproclamazione, per bocca di Ben Gurion, della nascita dello Stato di Israele (1948) al di fuori dei termini indicati dalla Risoluzione 181/47 dell’ONU e non seguendo le indicazioni della stessa, come erroneamente molti sostengono, e da quel giorno ad oggi le condizioni del popolo palestinese sono andate peggiorando sebbene non si sia mai verificata l’errata profezia di Ben Gurion che “i vecchi moriranno e i giovani dimenticheranno“. Questo lo prova il fatto che a 72 anni di distanza la resistenza palestinese è ancora viva e, in particolare nella Striscia di Gaza, ancora fortemente attiva, malgrado i morti… A Gaza gli ultimi rounds di attacchi sionisti ha distrutto-colpito abitazioni civili (ci sono migliaia di persone senza tetto al momento), scuole e postazioni mediche. Cosi è che sono morti numerosi civili, inclusi i bambini…”
“Justice, equality and dignity in Palestine/Israel must include Palestinians realizing their right to return home”
Dear friends, I’m incredibly moved to share that JVP will be co-hosting a Zoom rally for Nakba Day at 2pm ET on May 15, along with Palestine Solidarity Campaign – UK, BDS Movement, and a new South African BDS Coalition – and I’m honored to join this incredible lineup of speakers, artists and performers.
At JVP, we understand that justice, equality and dignity in Palestine/Israel must include Palestinians realizing their right to return home. As a Jewish organization, we see it as core to our purpose to peel back layers of myth and falsehood, and to help each other confront the brutal truth of Israel’s establishment. Nakba means catastrophe in Arabic, and refers to the destruction of hundreds of Palestinian villages and the violent expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians that began with Israel’s founding, and that continues to this day.
The catastrophes of the Nakba continue through ongoing land theft and expulsion. We are just weeks away from the likely threat of annexation, which would mean even more deeply entrenched apartheid, more home and village demolitions, and the further loss of Palestinian land, livelihoods, and connections.
We refuse to be a part of this plan. As we organize with our partners to pressure governments, diplomats, and NGOs to use their power to stop annexation, we must also help build a stronger global movement. On Nakba Day, we will take another step toward this.
I look forward to joining you at a meaningful and powerful rally as we lift up Palestinian voices and take action together.
In solidarity,
Stefanie Fox – Executive Director – info@jewishvoiceforpeace.org
